Hi there.

The Brain's Self-Cleaning System: How Meditation Activates Neural Waste Clearance

In 2012, the University of Rochester neuroscience group, led by Maiken Nedergaard, published a paradigm-shifting paper identifying the glymphatic system. In 2013, Xie et al. demonstrated that glymphatic clearance is dramatically increased during sleep. This process is reduced in aging. In 2025, a group from Vanderbilt University showed that the brain's CSF flow during meditation shifted from a turbulent, bidirectional pattern (associated with neurodegeneration) toward a more efficient, directionally consistent pattern- the same shift seen during healthy sleep. It is as if meditation temporarily reverses the CSF flow signature. This research included expert meditators from the Isha Yoga Foundation (Samyama, Shambhavi), Vipassana, etc.

Let us start somewhere to get these benefits in addition to the main one: stillness. The forever-free digital app, Miracle of Mind is a good place to start, amongst others.

Kudos to all the scientists in this field.

If you are a little playful with life, every moment is a celebration. #SadhguruQuotes

Ensuring soil is always under shade is essential for soil health and soil organisms to thrive. Congratulations to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University for taking the initiative to transfer academic knowhow to our farmers. Such collaborations are important if we have to improve farmers’ economic situation and revitalize the soil. -Sg #SaveSoil

A human being who is joyful, responsible, with a little bit of sense, can deal with challenging situations much better than those who are dead serious about everything. #SadhguruQuotes

You cannot rise in love, you cannot fly in love, you cannot stand in love – you have to fall in love. If you want to know the magic of emotion, something of you has to fall. #SadhguruWisdom

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

The more you try to be special, the more you get hurt. Just be, melt and become part of the wind and the earth; become part of everything, as creation intends. #SadhguruQuotes

Stress, anxiety, tension – we can give it many names but essentially, your intelligence is turning against you, not taking instructions from you. I’m sure this initiative by the Hon’ble Prime Minister will help our youth experience the Miracle of Mind and take charge of their mental wellbeing. -Sg @narendramodi @PMOIndia #PPC2025

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

A joyful and responsible person can handle difficult situations much better than one who is serious. #SadhguruWisdom

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

Wonderful to see young Bharat’s appeal & the response from Office of @POTUS. With this level of citizen engagement & administrative responsiveness, we will fulfil our mission to #SaveSoil. May Bharat & his generation live in an Abundant planet knowing their voices were heard. -Sg

In #TamilNadu in paticular the way that @SadhguruJV was welcomed was above and beyond, as the simple devotion that was shown brought tears to many! Not as a hero, not as a #Soil warrior but as a Guru!

Israel- an outstanding example of commitment & vision. As fertile soils turn into sand in the rest of the world, Israel is turning sand into fertile soil, producing 99% of its own food & leading innovation in agriculture technology. May Israel inspire the world. -Sg #SaveSoil

We have only 45-60 years of food left because of mass desertification of soil. It is time we address this. #SaveSoilAtCOP15 https://t.co/mJPoY1BU1A
